I had originally recorded this about a year and a half ago, but felt that I couldn't do it justice. I just recently made it to 10,000 subscribers, 1,000,000 video views, and 1,200 likes on my facebook page, so I was looking for something to do to celebrate and I came back to this song. This is a monster of a song, extremely difficult, and I knew I had to do it as well as I possibly could or not do it at all. Well I think that it came out pretty well, and I hope you do to. Just so you know, there are a few points in the song where there are more than 4 voices singing, but I didn't feel the need to represent all of the voices with a video.

I appreciate the compliment. I just wanted to let you know that I've taken professional lessons since I was 7 years old, and I'm going into my 3rd year of college as a voice major. On top of that I've done 2 broadway national tours. Trust me when I say that even if it may not sound like it, I am certainly singing from my diaphragm. Not everybody sounds operatic when they do. If I didn't know how to use my diaphragm I would've gotten nodes years ago.
You are amazing!
thank you very much! And yes, I always wonder why people feel the need to comment that it's not as good as the original. I'm not trying to be as good as the original, I'm covering an amazing song to pay respect to an even more amazing group of musicians.
Go you!!! ☺
Amazing how many clever y/t users discern right away that you're not Freddy and certainly not Queen. Wow, they're sharp.
But you ARE fantastic. You make this look simple. That's the problem for the critics whose only response is always a point of criticism. I simply can't imagine pulling this off so well. It is the best study of this remarkable invention of rhythm and harmony I've ever heard. My ears sincerely thank you! You nailed it with that remarkable vocal range and quality of yours.
This dude has some seriously good range. Its fantastic!
I'm pretty sure he does not use auto tune. Based on his comments elsewhere, He only adds equalization, compression, and reverb. In case you aren't familiar with the meaning of those terms, it simply means that he adjusts the volume of of certain parts of the sound spectrum that he utilizes, balances the volume of all the parts, and adds a little bit of echo to top things off beautifully. He just sings nearly perfectly in tune, and that coupled with the way his voice naturally sounds produces....
No one can hit those stratospherically high notes like you, Dan! Great job on a technical nightmare of a song. You make the near-impossible seem easy.
Wow! This is a veritable tour-de-force. Fantastic achievement. After Freddie Mercury died, Queen tried really hard to find a singer who could sing lead on this song all the way through. Most of them did well at one end of the range but not at the other. (This means the singers who could sing the high notes well could not sing the low notes, and vice versa). It was only then that the other band members in Queen began to realise what an impressive singer Freddie Mercury had been, which they had previously not realised but had taken for granted. The amazing thing about this rendition is that Dan not only manages all the lead vocals, which we already know are difficult enough, but he also makes his task even harder by singing all of the the bass range vocals and the tenor range vocals himself as well. And even more amazingly, he successfully pulls it all off. Congratulations Dan, this is a mighty achievement. A little bit on the slow side for my taste, but then I don't know what technical feats you had to overcome in recording this at all. Great job.
Blues fan put it on 1.25 speed and its much better
blacktigre
Thanks. Er...just how do I do that?
settings> speed :)
blacktigre Settings on what, exactly? These one-word answers may make you feel big and smug, but they are not very helpful, because they just automatically trigger the next question in the chain. Why not just explain it in one go, instead of showing off like this of forcing a series of questions? OK, I get it, there is much less of an ego trip in being actually helpful instead of making someone else look inadequate.
Blues fan Wow. You try to be helpful to some people and they respond with their life story. Not sure where youre coming from with smugness or feelings of inadequacy. Its pretty obvious that you click the settings on the video. There are only so many symbols to click on a youtube video. Click settings then choose the speed. I hope these were enough words for you to avoid further confusion...
I'm a HUGE fan of quartets. The voices just go together and it gives me the goosebumps. Nice job man!
This is my all time favorite song and I think you nailed it. You made it your own while maintaining respect for the original by Queen.
Beautiful chords. Impressive vocal control. Great arrangement.
Michael Raphael Great arrangement, however I believe there`s a lot of digital correction in this. No offense, but it really sounds too precise in some of the passages.
My favorite song, amazing rendition!!!
o_o I felt like i'm listening to a midi file...
This guy deserves more recognition
i liked this before i heard the first note. QUEEN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this song
You are fortunate to have such supportive parents. They have obviously done a pretty good job.
Gives me chills. What a great cover
I just love the stereo separation on this. I can hear all four voices and pick them out on the screen.
Why isn't this one more famous? It's extraordinary! So difficult to perform and even more difficult to perform in an adequate way... Very well done!
You are like the only one who puts the software and equipment info in the description..... THANK YOU!! Finally someone who is kind enough to share.
this is not auto tuned, its just how his voice syncs up with the other parts
Not something that I would listen to daily, but worthy enough to go onto my music list on my phone. *applause*
what blues fan said. Can't say it any better....way to go, Dan....VERY AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT enjoyed & loved it....take it from someone who grew up along w/Queen...!! *Gives Standing Ovation*
The greatest song ever...
Very good job! A lot of people don't know how difficult it is to sing with yourself.
I love this so much
You have incredible range, and very good pitch.
a pleasure to listen to.
Yeah, Autotune really has incredible pitch and range. But Autotune sings too robotic for me.
Great Performance...!!!
You make me cry. Amazing ! ! ! Regards from Montevideo, Uruguay.
auto-tuned or not i enjoyed every single second of it..... and that is what counts... great job dan!
His range!!!!
Super! 5 MILLION stars!
it sounds perfect
Queen lends itself to A Capella so well, Do more pls!
The best song ever!!!!!! Wow it's amazing!!!!! Thank you Dan!!
loving this...
Hi Dan! I really enjoyed your version. I was very impressed by all the vocals and great emotional expression. As a lead in a barbershop chorus, I gotta tell you that you have a great lead voice. And I thought you nailed the song. It's my favorite so far.
Great, bravo! You're a very talented singer. Not everyone has that talent.
Always wonderful to see you post. Glad to see you sharing your free time before school starts. Thanks
too clean >.> especially the bass part :P don't cheat!! great work though, totally loved it! :D
It's still pretty impressive for acapella
BRAVO. Fantastic job requiring great coordination and tech ability! I'm shocked that this has not gone viral...... YET...
I got goosebumps!
Man that high note!! Keep up the good work; you have an amazing voice.
I'm so glad I chose a life of music. It's what has led me to your marvelous performances. I plan to be your best audience. Thanks!
Thank you Larry, glad you enjoyed it!
have you seen julien neel ? he do the same stuff, check it out ! :P
I was skeptical at first in the beginning but as you went through the rest of the song I was REALLY IMPRESSED especially with that high note in the change up. I was like, “ok man here it comes please hit it” and you did and I was impressed very well done, not many guys have a vocal range like you let alone hit that note.
Love this so much.,.
This is truly beautiful, and a wonderful tribute to the original.
Not just anyone can sing Freddie Mercury, the man was a legend. I do believe you are doing his song justice though! Keep it up!
Extremely well adapted!
makes me cry
Thank you for your singing. Every time I open to you in a new quality.
Your vocal range is so incomprehensible to me!!!!! You're amazing!!!!!!👍👍🙌🙌
I love it.
Dan -- wow! I've been subscribed for a couple of years now, and you continue to amaze me. . . the sheer musicality of this makes me shiver. And you keep getting better at showing in your face the expression in the music. 10K subscribers? KUDOS!
Thank you! That's something I've been working on a lot
Your voice is beautiful..i wanna be that good of a baritone
i have the chills!! this was so amazing! Im ganna totally try this with my Sweet Adelette group!!!!!!!!
Not sure there is anyone who could have done that more beautifully- even visually-
this is your song. I totally disagree with these last comments. This is simply you and beautiful.
Great tone control, but lacks emotions :/
it still sent shivers down my spine.
No. I hear layered voices. Maybe he should state if autotune is used to avoid any kind of disagreements.
chippchipp1 er. Refer to above.
i heard a few smooth transitions...hard to tell. but he kicks ass one way or the other
i agree
This is incredible
So good! such talent!
Wow, impressive. Very solid soft pitch thats kind on the ears. :) greets -cal.
This is fantastic. I can't understand the dislikes. Can they even do what he did?
You have a very high range and I love it! You are very creative and I think no matter what anyone says about these videos, believe in your self and focus on your own goal . Great job!
great cover, awesome sound
top notch ! thanks for sharing .. inspirational talent you have
Work of art! Great choice.
I'm trying to imagine learning and singing this song, and when I do, all I can think is that it is not an easy song to learn or sing. If I didn't see the comments about emotion, I would not have thought about it. The song was so good. Having seen those comments though, being extremely critical I can see where the commenter was coming from. The comment was worth something to you I'm sure, however, I don't care. It was very, very, good.
That is a beutifull gift you got
Flawless!
I've watched a few of our videos. You won me over!!!!! I subscribed, didn't want to miss any more!!
Marvelous!
Frickin' amazing!
One talented Dude
Pure Genius
Your chords are amazing but the lead need more emotion
Way to go kid I got chills
Fantastic...your range is amazing!
Ok! Just saw you've done some of his music. Going to listen now!

Fantastic!
This is amazing! Congratulations!
you have a gift! purely amazing!
Brilliant
Harry Potter 10 points from Gryffindor. Because I hate you. (Thank me later, brat)
Wonderful performance! I don't know what all those auto tune comments below are about, but I enjoyed this immensely. This is a prick of a song to arrange, but I think you've more than done it justice. Please keep up the great work!
I do! the link to my site is in the description :)
The range is crazy
Great job!!! this is one of my all time favorite songs ever!
Wonderful!
You've done it again!!
I love this. Thank you!
Excellent transformation from the original to barbershop!
you are getting better each time, congratulations it is a pleasure to follow your chanel.
greetings!
I think this just needs more style and dynamic contrast. It seems very mono-dynamic.
Other than that it was great!
Josh Avery why don't you make a video and illustrate sir
ProducersVault Josh criticism is constructive and absolutly true, Why do should he make a video?
fuck you! ¬¬.I.
For everyone hating on Josh here, he is not bashing on Dan but rather giving him constructive input, so I do not get why he is being thrown some curse words. As a learning vocal arranger myself, I felt that this arrangement is too monodynamic as well - it needs to have more dynamic contrasts so that it sounds a lot more interesting.
Love it
Too many people on here are confusing AutoTune with pitch correction. Did he use AutoTune? Probably not, because I know how that program works. But did he use pitch correction? Definitely.
I made something similar to this on my channel for an APUSH project. I am the only one who sang, and I used absolutely no pitch correction or effects.
ayy lmao
Tony Parra is that a problem?
***** Considering that he's my best friend, not really.
Ayy lmao
In all honesty, Autotune is the same thing as pitch correction. it "automatically tunes" your voice to the correct pitch. Autotune is commonly referred to as a way to make you sound like a better singer, although autotuning a voice is essentially changing it in any way, even if that is simply correcting the pitch.
I know I’m a couple years late but your voice sounds soo smooth I like it #2018
I looooove your tenor sound. Its sooo rich :)
